About the GCF project The GCF project identified that as Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Pacific, Cook Islands, Niue, Palau, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), and Tuvalu are at the forefront of increasing risks from the impacts of climate change. [...] The first part of the report gives an overview of available literature and the methodology to outline the research background and provide the context for the study findings. [...] What forms of support are needed to strengthen early warning systems and FbF including EWEA triggers and tailoring messages? Data collection Data collection for the study was led by national researchers, overseen by a senior researcher based at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji and supported by the National Societies of the IFRC and the Red Cross Red Crescent Climate Centre. [...] The commitment of the studied households to invest in reducing the impacts of drought is reflected in the sources of funds they use to do so. [...] The first step involves identifying the requirement for tanks and cisterns for households to meet their needs during drought, considering the context of the outer islands as well as the household composition of the elderly, people with disabilities, infants, children, women and men.
